I could go on for quite a while and actually did in this thread - https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1707352 but I think you're heading in the right direction where really the feel to this car is what wins most people over - throttle response, steering feel (still hydraulic), chassis feedback & balance, the high revving v8 and all of the wonderful noises it makes (induction and exhaust).
Lol but the DCT issue is the same with e9x platform - there isn't really a 'Park' you just slap it in to neutral and turn the car off and it electronically puts the car in park once shut off. Good luck on your search. Obviously I'm biased but the car and experience you get for the price with an e9x is really tough to beat. |
I am excited. Tomorrow, I am actually going to look at that the black manual E90 posted in the classifieds. It seems like a good deal. Isn't the ideal spec but definitely seems like a good place to start and I won't feel bad loading up on hard miles. And I love the idea of a V8 sedan.
